Batch add to folders from search results

[acozine]

As a user, I want to add multiple items to a single folder from the search results page. IU would like to replicate IUCat functionality, which only offers "Select All", not individual checkmarks for items in search results.

ACCEPTANCE:

• A Select All button on the search results page activates a drop-down menu of all the user's folders
• We check whether the items are already contained in the selected folder
• Any items that are not in the selected folder are added to the bottom of the folder
• Any items that are already members of the selected folder are not added
• A flash message tells the user how many items have been added and how many have not and why - something like: "6 items have been added to SelectedFolder. 3 items were already in SelectedFolder - they are still there in whatever position you selected."

This functionality seems very similar to the saved search capabilities in the new release (preview) of IUCat. When is anticipated a user would use this functionality instead of saved searches?

The two scenarios are similar. The use case for using batch add instead of a saved search is when I want to append the results of a search to the other items in an existing folder.
